Measuring a Body in Motion
Using data recorded by a motion capture camera system – similar to the ones used for digital animation – physicians can measure the severity of several sports-related injuries and conditions and develop a plan for treatment.
Conditions We Treat
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Tears
An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a common knee injury seen in our sports medicine clinics. Shriners Children's specialists will determine if surgery is needed depending on the severity of the injury.
Elbow Dislocations
An elbow dislocation occurs when the bones of the forearm traumatically shift out of place, causing pain, swelling and limited range of motion.
Golfer’s Elbow
Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) is a condition that causes pain on the inside of the arm due to repetitive wrist and finger movements. This “overuse injury” may create elbow stiffness or weak hands, and is not limited to golfers.
Achilles Tendon Ruptures
Achilles tendon injuries may include a rupture, also known as a tear. Early treatment at Shriners Children's for an Achilles tendon tear works best and can help prevent more injury.
Knee Injuries
Active children are susceptible to a number of types of knee injuries that can range from mild to severe. Physicians at Shriners Children's can assess your child's knee pain and develop a treatment plan.
Thrower's Shoulder
Thrower's Shoulder is caused by increased load on the rotator cuff tendons surrounding the shoulder joint, which causes pain. Shriners Children's can develop a plan to treat this overuse injury.
Meniscal Tears
Meniscal tears are among the most common knee injuries, that usually occur after a sudden twisting of the knee. Our physicians can assess your child's injury and determine if requires surgical repair and/or rehabilitation.
